Default Warturtle 2.0 south florida build

Sup guys welcome to my build thread,ill be posting pics of my hatch as i build it,its a simple k series build "full k20z1" with tastefull mods.. .my last build:
NWP4LIFE: 2.0 midori build

had alot of fun with that car,it was really the first car I can say I build,I went through the whole phase of growing out of these cars so i went ahead and listed the car for sale or trade,ended up getting a tsx witch was comftorable but boring to drive,I looked around for shells but couldnt find anything clean,I messed up and traded the tsx for an rsx that ended up being a huge pos,sold that quickly..At that point I wasnt happy with a car like i was with my midori so i went after the car i wanted for a while witch was an s2000
,picked that up and drove that around for year and the whole time I was still itching to build another car,not so much the s2000 so I ended up selling it,got a nice penny for it,paid some debts and got straight to the drawing board,I found an acura integra to daily and next was a clean eg hatch shell to build up...I live in south florida so these cars go like hot cakes,i ended up getting the full swap and most of the parts before I had the shell....After searching for nearly 2 months I finnally found the one,It came with no wheels so i put on some rotas i had laying around.

Shell looks pretty clean. What mods are you thinking of doing to the engine itself?
